but his view-- particularly on john boehner-- is that boehner cannot deliver a deal. he can do all the schmoozing he wants but when john boehner, the house speaker, goes back to his caucus they are driven and ruled by imperatives that are impervious to schmoozing and this that's basically their constituents at home and therefore if boehner can't help him make a deal he has to find some other kind of leverage and that comes from the outside which is why in the inaugural address today the president talked about voters and said we have to do it not through our votes but our voices that's why he's organizing america for action, to try and build pressure from the outside that will somehow work on lawmakers. he's tried that before but they're recommitted it-to-it now that's given up on dealing with congress directly. >> if you took the 2001 most influential people in washington 2000 of them if you them in a room and ask them to chat about the topics, the president's lack of willingness to reach out to congress very much, his lack of feel for the importance of relationships,

john boehner and eric cantor went in separate directions over the fiscal cliff debate. probably some in the democratic party as well. and the two sides haven't done well. here come the bidens up the front steps of the white house. joe biden and dr. jill biden. >> that's an entrance these folks don't use very often, ceremonial front door of the white house. usually they're shuffled into the west side of the white house. this is a day about ceremony and pomp and circumstance and so they're entering through the front door for this coffee. it's expected to last about 15 minutes. i don't think there will be an omelette bar. it's a short one. >> because we have just seen the re-election of the president, these moments unfolding at the white house are not as dramatic as the circumstances would be if we were to have a new president coming in where that president that's about to be sworn in comes to greet the sitting president. it's always an emotional moment. here is president obama, malia, sasha and mrs. obama in the background there. and this will be the last time we see them
